The Church Is Like Noah's

The Problem Is That The Chicken-soup-for-the-soul Stuff May Feel Good, But None Of That Typical Stuff Helps When Somebody In Your Neighborhood Is Murdered.

Maybe We Are A Little Crazy. After All, We Believe In Things We Don't See. The Scriptures Say That Faith Is "being Sure Of What We Hope For And Certain Of What We Do Not See" (heb. 11:1). We Believe Poverty Can End Even Though It Is All Around Us. We Believe In Peace Even Though We Hear Only Rumours Of Wars. And Since We Are People Of Expectation, We Are So Convinced That Another World Is Coming That We Start Living As If It Were Already Here.

Mother Theresa Always Said, "calcuttas Are Everywhere If Only We Have Eyes To See. Find Your Calcutta."

A Lot Of Times People Say Whatever The Government Touches, They Don't Do That Well, So Why Would We Trust Them With The Power Over Life And Death? Do We Really Believe The System Is That Perfect That It Won't Make Any Mistakes? You Can't Reverse These Mistakes.

One Thing That's Clear In The Scriptures Is That The Nations Do Not Lead People To Peace; Rather, People Lead The Nations To Peace.
